Spanish Archer (15/8), Sextant (9/4), Gates Pass (4/1), Side Effect (11/2), Needs To Be Seen (12/1), First Call (50/1), Ecole D'art (66/1), Bay Dude (100/1)

A tricky contest to call. Sextant is clearly an interesting newcomer and it would be no surprise to see him oblige, though some of his trainer's debutants do come on for their first run. The market should be a good guide to his chance and also that of Side Effect. SPANISH ARCHER is the suggestion after a good debut here and a step up in trip, although the stable form has to be a slight concern. Gates Pass and Needs To Be Seen are others of interest.
